You are eating a fruit Gu pudding and think 'that pot will make a good thruster for the rocket I'm going to build with ds'

You empty your pockets and find string, pebbles, sticks, acorns, feathers, pine cones and tissues but not the thing you actually wanted!

You walk around with blobs of calpol, yoghurt, milk and more on your jeans and you just don't notice anymore..!

You view sex as an opportunity for a lie down rather than the fun it was pre babies!

Your three-hour old ipod already has the Disney Princess and Sound of Music albums on it...

you only consider buying a handbag if it will fit in a couple of nappies, packet of wipes and a few toy cars

You have caught someone else's vomit in your hands and this was a) intentional and b) a good idea.

You go for a ride on a bus - just for the "fun" of it.

You endlessly sing the praises of the Council's library service.

Even when you go away for a romantic break without the children, you are still on a VERY ORGANISED military operation - checking your watch every ten minutes and shouting orders.

instead of telling your friend at the pub 'I'm just off to the loo' you say 'I need to go wee-wee's'

Beansprout weirdly though, don't think I could do that for someone else's child.....

I still gently push my trolley backwards and forwards at the checkout, even if I'm completely alone!

you say cheerily to DH, before you get in the car, , 'Now, do you need to do a wee wee?'

regardless of who is in the car, when you drive past a field, you say, , 'looooooookk!! loooooookk!! lovely baaa lambs! look...!'

or indeed saying that to anyone over the age of 4!


second the catching vomit...did that with DD a couple of weeks ago, whilst DS looked aghast, and told everyone that we saw for the rest of the week

You find yourself wiping restaurant/cafe tables clean with wet wipes.

kinki · 10/06/2007 19:57

when dh isn't paying attention to you, and you accidently say "I'm going to count to 3 and if you don't listen to me I'm going to..." Whoops, only made that mistake once though.

you use hedrin

you get up from the table 15 times per meal time

you eat biscuits and chocolate in the toilet with the door locked

you play your music in your car really loud not because its cool but to drown out the millionth question of the day/fighting from the back seat
